πŸ› οΈ What You'll Need

  • βœ… Wooden lamp kit pieces (base, lampshade slats, arms, connectors)
  • βœ… Wood glue
  • βœ… Small screwdriver
  • βœ… Screws or bolts
  • βœ… Battery holder, switch, lamp socket, and wires
  • βœ… Included wiring diagram

🧺️ Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

🧑 Tip: Let glue dry completely between steps for a strong final result.

βœ… Step 1 – Assemble the Base

Lay out the wooden base pieces. Align and slide the slots together to build a small box-like structure with open sides.

βœ… Step 2 – Build the Lampshade

Find the flat circular base and the long slats.
Apply glue to each slot on the circular piece and insert the slats one by one to form a round, cage-like shape.
Let it dry thoroughly.

βœ… Step 3 – Assemble the Adjustable Arms

Take the long arm pieces and attach the small connector pieces to create jointed hinges.
Glue the joints, let them dry, then attach the finished arms to the base.

βœ… Step 4 – Attach the Lampshade

Fix the completed lampshade to the top of the arms.
Use screws or bolts to secure it, tightening gently to avoid damage.

βœ… Step 5 – Wire the Lamp

Connect two wires to the lamp socket.
Run them down through the lamp structure to the base.
One wire connects directly to the lamp.
The other goes through the installed switch.
Mount the switch in its slot and install the battery holder.
Use the provided wiring diagram for guidance.
